I mentioned on chat how ridiculous my cleaning outfit looked, and was immediately asked to post a picture of it. Argh, I shouldn't!

But I will anyway...

I hereby give you: A 'Henry Blake' hat/Bright striped tee-shirt/Rolled up jeans (legs need to be shaved too)/and socks with the Grinch on them. You can't say I didn't warn you.

And yay! A semi-clean background! (Jim moved his beanbag chair and that pillow back into the living room after I'd taken them out, but oh well.) Ooh, and I put my pillows I crocheted on the couch (which also has a 'Disney plush theme' to it now, and also mended the one cushion with a big obvious patch!

Speaking of pets, this is a cat that stopped by a couple years ago. Jim dubbed him 'Rotten' because he wasn't the smartest cat ever, at times. (See how he's a many-toed cat, too? He may've been imbred.) But he was really cute and friendly, and I liked him!

(I was gonna post some more play pictures, actually...but they're buried in my closet after I cleaned last week. Hence, the several year old picture that was already in the photobucket archives!)

Meet Taran. His full name (first and middle...yeah, I give my pets middle names) was 'Taran Munkustrap.' When I was still working at the cave, we found in the woods one day a litter of tiny, adorable kittens. Their mom was feral, and wasn't there, so we took them into the breakroom and divided them up amongst ourselves. I chose him because he was not only adorable (I have a picture of him when he was the same size as a beanie baby...he'd actually grown a bit since we'd gotten him by then, too) but because he was the most attacky cat I'd ever seen, and it was SOOO fun to play with him!

So I took him down to Arkansas, much to my parents dismay (well I couldn't have pets at my place), where he stayed until he (sadly, and much too young) died. Even though mom was against the idea at first, she ended up growing very attached to him. She never did call him by his real name, either...I don't know how she came up with this, but she called him 'Munchie.'
